Ok well i brought up the topic of the flare in the passenger footwell of my Classic JDM WRX import in my local club 'BSC' and got no answers really, so, If it is an original to the car with jap writing etc, is it worth anything? Or should i just leave it as an original feature for the sake of it? Any help cheers!!!

 

i dont know why but my mates Glanza has one standard fit and he flips out if anybody touches it! he says there very rare still be there! so personally i would leave it, or set it off see if it still works

 

Haha i would to know what the price of one is then because know one knows here and i am the only one with one amongst my buddies lol, i am scarred to even touch it in case it surgically removes my hand lmao

 

Passenger flare? What's this thread about? Or am I missing something!?

 

I had one in a spare shell i had and i set it off one night pissed!!! It better not be worth **** all haha

 

With some imports a flare comes with the car. Apparently they are quite rare and I want to know if they are actually rare or sort after or worth anything lol

 

Haha thats mint, I have a friend who got in the car and first words were you lucky ****, Ive been after one of those for years lol

 

I've got one in the car but that's because I go out on Dartmoor and Lake District a lot.

Is it a hand flare or one of those night into day parachute jobbies?

 

In Japan all cars ar fitted with them

 

They are the equivalent to our warning triangles.

 

I'd much rather have a flare - loads more fun!!

 

Yep agreed, dont suppose there is a price tag to it?

 

Ive got one spare if someone wants to buy one (pm me)

 

How much? My mate wAnts one?

 

Also have one spare,,,I used to collect them from the scoobs I broke and have had loads of them ,,,,keep letting them off in cheddar gorge though so the drifters can see us parked up lol

 

All JDM have them but they are removed when imported.

Not that rare and not worth much, usually make a tenner on ebay if your lucky.

 

I dont think they are legal to use in the UK tbh, so there is no real price on them but I doubt they will be worth much, have them in my JDM's and its just there for show now.

PS, £5 is probably more than its worth by quite some amount

 

They should be removed at first import as they are now classed amongst the firearms..... I had one, the expiry date was 2002, I bought the car in 2010 and it was still with it!

Discreetly disposed of one dark night!

 

One for sell on here for £5 and as above by bristol. Illegal to have in the car and comes under the firearms act.

You'll be a nice easy arrest for a bored traffic officer who's too scared to deal with actual villains.

 

Cheers for the views and info, point taken it is a firearm and the plod will probs pull me for it haha buggers! not worth anything really! well bye bye Flare!

 

I rather keep it then sell for a fiver lol

 

opps.

 

I've got one too, just a nice feature I suppose. No way the cops gonna find out if its just a shell or not without setting it off...then who's at fault? Lol

In all seriousness I looked at selling a while back and with the holder it's maybe worth £10 as said before. They ain't rare at all, just illegal here

 

Mines still in place

 

Mines still there also just under dashboard at passanger side it came off the boat with the car so it's staying with the car.

 

im after one of these, have been for a while. if anyone has one....

 

My old starlet had one but my type-r has been taken out... Im not sure but you could try jap performance parts in Crawley

 

my gtir had one and a brolli left them both there when sold it.
it was nice to have all features with the car.
I would say keep them.
